Introduction

The workhorse of beer fermentation, yeast is responsible for converting fermentable sugars into CO2 and ethanol. Dr. Maria Mutsaglu did some research looking at how carbon and nitrogen concentration impacts yeast propagation. She noticed that yeast seems to grow better in the lab on plates that contain low sugar content and a lot of nitrogen. Be sure to check out patreon.com slash Brulosophy if you haven't already.
